Talavera tiles are NOT frost resistant, they should not be used on outdoor installations with potential freezing temperatures.

Mexico is world reknown for its skillful artisans in a wide variety of fields. Mexican writer Alberto Ruy Sanchez Lacy called Mexican tile a "chosen skin". Tiles have embellished numerous public and private spaces thoughout Mexico. A glimpse anywhere in Mexico, particularly in the central states, shows the widespread use of talavera tiles decorating a broad range of spaces from kitchens, fountains, facades, interiors of luxurious hacienda homes to churches. It is through traditional artifacts, such as handcrafted tiles, that one can perceive an artisan’s sensibility, and creativity. Handcrafted ceramic tile is a rooted cultural heritage in Mexico, since its practice of making it began in the late sixteen century, around 1570 and 1573. Mexican ceramic tiles have actively played a distinguished role as an important utilitarian and decorative element in Mexican architecture.

Mexican tile is functional, beautiful, and practical, it provides a long lasting wall or surface that is easy to care and maintain. You can install Mexican tiles in virtually any area you want to enjoy their warm and beauty.

The tiles are made from clay dug out of the ground and fired to a temperature at which the clay undergoes chemical changes and becomes permanently hard. Then the tile is glazed and decorated by hand, and fired once again to give it its final and lively finish. Its physical characteristics make Mexican tiles particularly attractive and distinctive. Mexican tiles are concave (not perfectly flat). They are characterized as unique, irregular, functional, and expressive.

• Industry standard recommends adding on 5-10% additional tile to account for waste, special cuts, or other unforeseen problems. It is recommended to revise measurements and tile quantities with an expert installer.

Care and Considerations

• Clean with mild cleanser and damp cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners. • Some glazes such as matte colors are acid sensitive. Do not use cleaners with an acid base since these may cause discoloration.

• Due to the sensitive nature of Talavera tiles scratches may be prominent in dark colors. For example, Cobalt Blue.

Beautiful Tile by Jennifer Mazzone (pasadena CA US)

Love this tile. I got it in 3x6 for a border in my bathroom. Great color, extremely fast delivery and well packed. Worth the money!

Thank you! by Bethany B (Kihei HI US)

I can't begin to tell you how thankful I am for the tiles you made and sent! I had some broken tiles around my pool (10) and ordered them. When I saw how beautiful the tiles looked, I decided to order more (60?). Well, after pulling the old tiles off, I unboxed the new ones. I took a break, washed my hands and put lotion on. So, I grab the box and climb a flight of stairs, lose the box (because lotion) and all of the tiles fall down the flight of stairs. I kid you not, NOT ONE tile broke!!! I couldn't believe it! You're the real MVPs!

Love! by Rachel (Spearfish SD US)

I bought the 1"x6" tile to complement an old reclaimed tile that I have had for over a decade. The tiles were perfect, the color lovely, and they arrived in great shape. My tile was not in stock, but would be received in just a few days. The Customer Service team called me immediately to inquire if it would be okay to wait to ship my order. I was fine waiting a few days, but I loved that they reached out to me proactively.
In all, delighted with the service and product.

Perfect Match by Mary Hill (San Clemente CA US)

We needed to match some cobalt blue Talavera tiles in the bathroom and these are a perfect match. They arrived a day after I ordered and were packed perfectly. We have had the pleasure of visiting your showroom and were very impressed by your selection and customer service. I wish we had a bigger home so we could use your tiles throughout. Thank you!

Perfect by Steve (Coast Vi US)

The customer service was very helpful. We were concerned on the color matching between the tiles and they helped up. The matching between the blues on the different designs was perfect. Thank you
